With the eighteenth pick of 2012 Interactive Mock Draft, the San Diego Chargers select…

18. Drew Butler, P, Georgia

As Chargers GM, I’ve met with coach Norv Turner and president Dean Spanos, and one thing is perfectly clear: the San Diego Chargers are committed to special teams this year. Just look at the huge contract we gave Eddie Royal. You think he’s going to be effective as a wideout? Hardly. Return those punts baby.

Anyway, I spent an exhaustive amount of time (2 minutes) googling the top punters in this year’s draft, and it’s clear that that is Drew Butler of Georgia. He kicked better as a sophomore, but I don’t like to look back. I like to look forward. Butler is the next great punter in San Diego.

Think about it. Some of the best quarterbacks in NFL history have become great because they were able to “learn behind” other great ones. Steve Young behind Joe Montana. Aaron Rodgers behind Brett Favre. Drew Brees behind Ryan Leaf. Why can’t the same be said for punters?

Drew Butler will watch the NFL’s best punter Mike Scifres punt. He’ll watch every kick. He’ll watch every snap and placement. And he’ll get paid millions to do it, so we won’t have to pay Scifres millions in a few years. When’s his contract up again?

Drew Butler’s the pick, and I’m sticking to it. As GM of the Chargers, it’s my duty to improve the team the best way I seem fit.

you know what people did? they laughed (because it was funny). if this is the first time you felt a ridiculous move was made in this draft day mock-up… you should really re-read pick #1 (or at least who made it)

On draft day the Donks trade Peyton Manning and their entire 2012 draft class, plus next years number 1, to the Washington Redskins. The Donk- Ho’s move up to #2 to select Jacory Harris, QB, Miami.

He has the size 6’3 230 and the smarts to be a HoF qb in this league. Elway realizes signing Peyton was a mistake because of age and salary cap issues.
